This image depicts an etching or an engraving from 1772, showing a pastoral scene. In the foreground, to the left, there's a large cow being led by a small figure, possibly a child, who holds onto a stick or a rope attached to the cow. They seem to be near a body of water, like the edge of a pond or river, and the surface of the water is calm, reflecting the surroundings.

To the right, there's a thatched cottage with a notably tall chimney and what seems to be a figure standing outside, near the doorway. A well-built structure, potentially a well or a storage unit, is situated near the tree line, closer to the cottage.

The surrounding landscape includes prominent trees on the left with detailed foliage, open fields stretching into the distance, and a gentle hill or low mountains in the far background. The sky is lightly etched, suggesting either a clear or a partly cloudy day.

Inscribed at the bottom of the image is text that reads: "F. Ruisdael Del. J.F. Daull Sculp 1772. Tire du Cabinet de Monsieur Pouchay Graveur a Lyon." This indicates the artist who drew the original design (F. Ruisdael), the engraver (J.F. Daull), and possibly the year of creation or publication (1772). It also mentions that the piece was taken from the collection of a Monsieur Pouchay, an engraver in Lyon, which might point towards the original owner or a collector who commissioned the work.

This image is a detailed etching that depicts a rustic countryside scene from 1772. In the foreground, a boy is seen influencing a large cow, guiding it with a stick into the water near the edge of a pond or small lake. The cow appears hesitant to enter the water.

In the midground, a large, gnarled tree bends over the water, providing a sense of depth and texture to the composition. The tree’s branches spread out, adding an intricate layer of detail to the etching.

To the right of the tree, a simple cottage with a thatched roof stands. An adult figure, possibly a shepherd or farmer, is positioned outside the cottage, facing the water and watching the boy and the cow. Behind the cottage, more trees and open fields stretch into the background, creating a sense of depth and openness.

The background showcases a vast landscape with gentle hills and additional trees, establishing the rural setting. The sky is lightly etched with clouds, adding to the overall serene and pastoral atmosphere of the scene.

At the bottom of the etching, there is an inscription in cursive, which reads: “J. Ruissdael Del. T ran Mr Lig. 1772, Tiré du Cabinet de Monsieur Souchay Eruyer a Lyon.” This notation likely references the artist and the origin of the piece.

This is a pastoral etching dated 1773 showing a rural scene with a cow wading in water being led by a small figure, likely a young herder. There's a thatched-roof cottage in the background with another figure standing near it. A prominent tree leans over the water, creating a picturesque composition typical of 18th-century landscape art. The scene has a peaceful, rustic quality with rolling hills visible in the distance. The artwork appears to be created by J. Ruysdaal and was part of the Cabinet de Monsieur Souchay collection in Lyon, as indicated by the inscription at the bottom of the print. The etching technique creates fine details and subtle gradations in tone, particularly evident in the tree's foliage and the water's surface.
